The boundiug-line, or rather the lines bridging the openings (a), 

 we contend ought not to have been introduced. 

 Fig. 7. Same, as tlie " nummuline wall " really occurs, there being nothing 

 in specimens, as will be seen in fig. 5, to show that the openings 

 (a, fig. 6) were ever filled with calcite (according to the " eozo'ic 

 doctrine " the part is a " calcareous lamella ") : on the contrary, 

 they were always filled with serpentine. 



XXXV. — On a Collection of Hemiptera Heteroptera from 

 Japan. Descriptions of various new Genera and Species. 

 By John Scott. 



Not the least interesting amongst the many novelties obtained 

 by Mr. George Lewis in Japan are the Hemiptera, which I 

 have had the pleasm-e of examining ; and although the major 

 part of the collection contains many well-known forms, some 

 of which are Em-opean, on the other hand there are several 

 possessing peculiar characters. These last are all entirely 

 new to science ; and their description forms a portion of the 

 present paper. Subjoined I give a complete list, showing 

 which genera and species are new and which have been pre- 

 viously described. 



List of Hemiptera Heteroptera collected hy Mr. George Lewis 

 in Japan. 



Those species with an asterisk (*) in front are found in England. 

 Those species with an obelisk (t) occur on the continent of Europe, but 

 are not known to be British.
